A SISTER OF CHARITY.

A beautiful story is told of Sister Of
Charity, who was returning to Boston
from New York, ION Sound steamer, re-
Gently. AS tea time was about to be an
nounced, a colored waiter approached
her and suggested that perhaps it would
be plessanter for her to go to the table
before the general rush Of the passen-
gers. She assented and took her place at
the table for very simple tea. The
waiter left her without waiting for an
order, and was gone so long that the sis
ter wondered what had become of him.
At last he appeared with a large tray
loaded with all the luxuries of the season
and set it down before her. OF course
the modest sister was quite taken aback,
and said to the waiter: You have made
a mistake; that is not for me-" ooh, yes,
sister," said he, it is for you" "But 1
did not order such supper as that; it
certainly must have been ordered for
some one else, and you have brought it to
me by mistake" "No, sister, there is no
mistake; it was ordered for YOU" Con-
WINGED at last, the sister ate all she want
ed. Before she could leave the table, the
waiter appeared with second course Of
sweets, ices, fruits, etc. "My dear man."
said the sister, that is too much. Who
has ordered all those things for meT
"There is the gentleman who gave the
order" said the darkey. "Then go and
express my grateful thanks to him, and
ask him for the pleasure OF his name
The darkey conveyed the message to the
gentleman, and returned with this reply:
"Tell the sister that my name is of no
consequence. am a stranger, and may
never see her again; but say that am al

vorable opportunity of testiiying my pro
found respect for the Sisters of Charity,
whom L first learned to venerate and love
in our late war" Boston Herald.

Matched teams as far as appearances
go, are very desirable upon the road, but
to the average farmer it is more desira.
BILE to have the teams mated equally in
gait and strength.
Education, intelligence, perseverance,,
and business ability will win every time;
and theee are just as useful, and of just
as much advantage to the farmer, as to
the tradesmsn or professional man.

THE YOUNG GIRLS FREEDOM

TIE 1OONG OIRL = REED 4.
Very likely the right and proper course
would lie in wise medium between the
American freedom and the French clois-
ter. Our own young girls could indubi-
tably be given longer period Of happy,
innocent irresponsible girlhood, before
being launched upon the world to absorb
all there is of it, to the ignoring and ex-
clusion Of those that they find there be-
fore them, very much to their advantage
both in health and manners, not to say
morals; while it would be equally advan-
tageous, on the other hand, to our young
friends overseers were they allowed more
liberty in the selection of the partners Of
their lives and fortunes, and not ushered
from the cloisters so suddenly into I'M
paralleled liberties, after marriage, as the
butterfly has which never exchanges her
chrysalis for a whole heaven of free air
and sunshine.-Harper's Bazaar.

ments of industry, means OF transporter

From the tone of cablegrams it would
appear that Germany's hostility to
France increases in bitterness as time
lapses. Almost two decades have passed
since the battle OF Graveloth. which re-
suited in shutting up the French army in
Metz, and was considered the most SAN
culinary of the Franco.G German war. That
time does not efface hostile feelings is evil
denced in a dispatch from Berlin published
to-day, and while the comrades wreathe
the graves Of the victims of the disastrous
conflict of nations, France is given to un-
derstand that even though Germany pays
tribute to it's fallen heroes, the action has
a deeper meaning, and is meant as an ex-
preston Of renewed hostility toward the
French. 1t means that the victories won
by Germany are sacred to her people, and
that they will retain them at any cost.

The most important series of racing
events in the history of Montana came to
a conclusion yesterday. The MINERS
daily report, written by a gentleman who
has been identified with the business for a
quarter of a century, has been complete,
and renders a recapitulation unnecessary.
There were good animals in attendance,
and the running record was lowered to
figures which would disgrace no track in the
country. The t~rotters made good time,
and proved to their owners that their con-
fidence was not misplaced. There was, as
u matter OF course. a little dissatisfaction
at the result OF some OF the races. Thatis
always a feature of race meetings, and
seemingly an essential ingredient. We be.
heve, however, that every decision of the
judges was honest and impartial, and that
the association endeavored to have the
races conducted fairly. As it is the meet
ing was a success, and Butte has reason
for congratulation that the events OF the
week terminated as favorably as they did.

CASTLE GARDEN CORMORANTs.

After a long struggle Mr.. J. C.. Slavery,
we'll known in Montana in connection
with the Cable mine, has won his fl hit
against the Castle Garden crowd in New
York. In addition to his vast and profita.
BILE mining interests in Montana, he is
largely interested in emigration into the
West. In the promotion OF this interest
he very naturally came into collision with
the Castle Garden cormorants, who set
out to levy tribute upon MIN. Having
been educated to receiving tribute himself,
as investors in Montana mines all are, Mr..
Slavery demurred, and being al aggressive
spirit, he carried the war into the enemies
country and assaulted their camp. So
when the commissioners attempted the
other day to detain an emigrant who
wanted to come West to join her brother,
and who had money to pay her way, the
court sat upon them and ordered that
the lady be allowed to pro-
coed to her destination. While
we believe in restricting emigration to
those who can pay their way and support
themselves when they get here. We would
nave the widest possible latitude allowed
those who may be able to meet these emer.
gencies. And, above all, we would like to
see a sharp system of espionage established
over the Castle Garden clique, which is not
above suspicion, to say the least. We
hope that Mr.. Slavery will use his wealth
a~I h;~ b.s:.e-o
capacity to the end that the reforms clam.
mored for may be wrought. He seems to
be enlisted in the cause, and we sincerely
hope he is, because he can accomplish so
much to promote it.

There were ten people in the Butte party
who arrived at Soda Springs after an I'M.
eventful trip at half-past 10 Friday even
ing. They had t~elegraphed ahead for rooms,
but when the party arrived there they
found all the rooms occupied by guests
from all parts Of the country and had to
share accommodations with others. People
came to the opening from Pocatello. Salt
Lake, Laramie and Cheyenne. Governor
Stevenson of Idaho, Governor West of
Utah and Ex-Governor Warren OF Wyom.

the company returned to the

was enthusiastic on the beautiful drives
there are in the neighborhood of the hotel,
and the natural c~uriosities which the
springs present. Imagine" said he, "a
basin larger than this room with the pure
soda water bubbling up from natures own
laboratory, more delicious than any you
can get of the bottled product. One never

other gentleman who was there said the
effervescent qualities of the springs took
away all appetite for spirituous refresh
ment and gave an celebrating freshness
and vigor to the body that was beyond
expression. The scenery within Easy access
of the hotels is beautiful; one can drive
in any direction and be enchanted
with the varying landscape that reveals

unusual quantities. 1t is one OF the best

effect that no place in the West will better
